The military gets about 50% of their base wage if they stay in 20 years.

I retired from the Air Force in 1988, as a Master Sgt. My retirement pay was $761 a month. After COLA increases, it is now $1,400 a month. It makes a dent in the house payment, but does not cover it all, but it is better than nothing.
